Employment Offer

The International Skilled Worker - Employment Offer pathway lets foreign talent with a permanent, full-time Saskatchewan job offer in NOC TEER 0-3 move straight to nomination - provided they score ≥ 60/110 SINP points, hold CLB 4+ language, possess one year of recent experience in the intended occupation, and secure a SINP Job Approval Letter (JAL). Note that the 2025 nomination cap for Food Service, Retail, and Trucking occupations is already met, so no new files in those sectors will be accepted until further notice.

• Job Approval Forms (JAFs) remain open for other sectors; employers must register online and obtain a JAL before you apply.
• Current SINP processing time for this stream ≈ 12 weeks (Q1 2025-26).
